In this four-day module teachers will explore differentiated science instruction using various technologies. The goal of the workshop series is to introduce, explore and create lessons that facilitate musical, artistic, visual, poetic, and other leaning styles. Teachers will create lessons revolving around music and poetic writing, comic artistry, digital simulations and interactions, implement them in their own classroom and return with student work for moderated marking based on the Ministry Expectations and Growing Success Document. Participants will observe an Exploration Classroom that displays effective use of DI with technology. Programs will include Smart Notebook, Audacity, Explore Learning Gizmos, PhET, Bit Strips, and Science Joy Wagon.
Learning Outcomes: At the end of this four-part module, teachers will be able to:
align specific technologies with DI and assessment as outlined in the Ministry Growing Success document and the Ministry Science Curriculum.
integrate Assessment for, as and of learning into teaching through DI using technology
focus on Assessment of Learning through moderated marking.
